If you enjoy plain, soft and chewy cookies that have been rolled in cinnamon sugar, you will love these snickerdoodles. Sarah baked them and they are a family favourite. They freeze well and are great in lunch boxes for a sweet treat at recess time.
Snickerdoodles
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups of plain (all purpose) flour

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons, sugar
